The .45 Colt does make a slightly bigger hole. The .44 (.429 actually) Mag will never overcome that. I know which I prefer for mild to wild... I know which Ross Seyfried prefers, and a few others .... In this day and age?It really is a personal choice between the two. Wouldn't feel outgunned with either caliber here is North America.
